Was7500 ' incorrect' password

Hi,
I've had my WAS7500 from new for 5 years now and have needed to perform numerous resets to replace lost internet connection data ie WAP codes etc.,apart from frustration, with no problem at all.

Having just needed to perform another reset the unit now tells me that the password I have used for the last 5 years is incorrect.
A request to Philips support has long past its deadline of 4 days to reply!!
Can anyone tell me how to get around this problem.

Hello MK46 and I am experiencing the exact same thing with my WAC7500 and WAS7500 so if you get anywhere please do let me know. I have received conflicting information from support as one had told me it is the unit that retains the password on the hard drive and another that the password is stored on the server, which is more plausible. I in fact de registered the units and registered them under another email account and password and then received the welcome email from Philips and a follow the link to complete registration email but when I attempt to enter the ID password that I had used to register the unit on the web site " incorrect password" message is displayed on the unit. What I cannot figure out is that if the password and email ID to access the internet radio services on the unit is the same as the ones used to log into the philips web site then must be a server issue. However if they are not the same then can someone tell me what to do next.

Hi,seanparker,nice to know I'm not alone with this problem and I will certainly let you know if a solution turns up.You say you had conflicting information from support about the root of the problem but did they not tell you how to cure it? I had consdered deregistering the unit as you have done but that is obviously not the solution.As stated in the original post I have had to continually re-enter data on the unit in order to connect with the internet (which to be fair is very poor in my area) and I have always put this down to the result of some kind of updating procedure over the internet which appears to go on during the night (I have noticed mysterious screen activity when the unit is swithched off at night) ...No I've not been watching to many science fiction films!! Anyway we'll have to wait and see!! 6 days and counting.

should you encounter the same issue specified in this thread, please send me a private message with the below details and we will get back to you as soon as solution is available.

1) product registration ID - an email under which you registered your Internet Radio Account on My Philips
2) MAC address as written on the label on the product or displayed in your settings menu on the device
3) full model numbers of your devices
4) serial number of your devices
5) IP address

I will email you the information but having visited the support page it would appear there is something desperately wrong with the Philips support system. I know that the email and password is correct as I use them to log into the web site. I use exactly the same for the internet radio on the unit and I am told the password is incorrect? Therefore the same deatls allow me to log in on site...go figure!

On the support page for the internet radio it shows the user receiving an email from Philips to register the users credential in order to use the radio internet services. Such as name address etc? Never received this and I am guessing that the thousands of users who cannot access the internet radio have not received this either, hence the problem. If you cannot complete the registration process then you would be unable to access the services. I am very disappointed to have found that the level of support is no longer what it used to be and I hope that a quick reliable response from Philips will make me change my mind.

we do apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. Our team is working very hard to resolve this issue as soon as possible. I would kindly ask you for your patience and be ensured that once we have any updates we will inform you immediately.

Are you able to advise the when you would anticipate a resolution to this issue? In the meantime are you able to advise if the internet radio instructions video on the Philips support site is current or not? If it is current can you advise why users are not sent the email from Philips to register their details to allow them to enjoy these internet radio services? It would be fair to say that as a company Philips have a reputation to uphold and service issues and the resolution of such issues are fundamental to its continuing success.

as mentioned previously and in different threads as well, we are aware of this issue and are working on the resolution as hard as we can. I am personally in touch with all users here experiencing the same issue as well as with yourself. As promised, we will inform you immediately once the solution is available.

In the meantime, we do apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and would like to kindly ask you for your patience.

Should you have any questions in the meantime, please feel free to send me a private message at any time.

Dear Tereza,I read with interest your reply to Sean and your request for patience but you must realise patience has its limitations when there is no indication of progress. May I suggest a progress report would help: for instance has your 'team' actually started work on ths problem and when, or is it someway down an endless list. An explanation of how this password system is set up and works would answer a lot of queries,(my past experience with passwords is that they can normally be reset easily within minutes. What progress has been made to date? and as Sean requests, an estimate of a conclusion?)
There seems to me (as a newcommer to your forum) that there are a lot of people interested in this problem and that maybe some proritisation would be beneficial to your companies image and your workload!
Regards

Hi to all,
I have same problem with 'incorect password" on my WAS7500.
The center WACS7500 work fine with same e-mail address and password.
All the system work fine for 2 years,last week I need to reset all in order to install new wireless router.
Can someone help me ?
Tks. Giovanni

we are currently investigating this issue. In the meantime, please send me a private message with the details below.

1) product registration ID - an email under which you registered your Internet Radio Account on My Philips
2) MAC address as written on the label on the product or displayed in your settings menu on the device
3) full model numbers of your devices
4) serial number of your devices
5) IP address

I wouldn't hold my breath and other members have all had the same response from Philips " send a private email" etc. All so far to no avail! They have told us they have known about this problem for sometime now and that they are working on the problem but they have not told us about the problem. What I mean is that we know there is a password issue but at first I was told by a member of their support team the password was stored on the hard drive of the unit and then it was stored on the server. Perhaps Philips would like to enlighten us and some idea of when this ongoing issue will be resolved.

I receive this morning the last e-mail from philips in order to registrate my device.
I try to click on link inside at 9:30 am and "server error" is the answer
I try again few minute ago (at 12:30) and the registration process is working fine.
I think Philips have some (big) problem in their systems.
